The people of the working group and Deputy General Zhao looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They couldn't calm down for a long time.
These villagers, who looked very simple and kind, actually had such a side to them?
Just a little bit of encouragement had led them to this point?
They were puzzled and even felt a little scared.
On the stage, Xie He gave the order to behead again.
Then, she continued to give the order to behead.
Every time a person was killed, the villagers' shouts became more enthusiastic, and they became more excited. It was as if the person who was killed was really the enemy who killed their parents, and they would be happier after killing them.
Soon, the rulers of the past became headless corpses, and the villagers' shouts gradually stopped.
The scene returned to silence, and the fear that was covered up by the extreme excitement hit their hearts again. Looking at the corpses and blood on the stage, they seemed to be worried that they would end up in the same situation.
Xie He spoke again.
"The people who have committed the most heinous crimes have been killed. Now, it's time for you to take back what belongs to you! General Xiao said that after killing these heinous crimes, our rebellious army doesn't want a single acre of the village's land! It's all yours! "
"Ours! Ours! Ours! Ours! "
Such shouts rang out again.
Thus, the villagers began to shout along with them.
It was best to have someone take the lead.
"General Xiao said that the rebellious army will uphold justice for you. The rebellious army will take back the land that belongs to you. General Xiao will spare no effort to protect you!"
"General Xiao! General Xiao! General Xiao! General Xiao! "
The people shouted passionately, and they didn't seem to care what they were shouting.
Perhaps such shouting would make them more cooperative, safer, and able to protect themselves. As for other things, they didn't care at all.
Following this, Xie He announced that she wanted to establish a Farmer's Association to protect everyone. Everyone could join and take up weapons to protect themselves. Those who joined the Farmer's Association would receive land, while those who did not join the Farmer's Association would not receive land.
After the news was announced, under the leadership of brave people, farmers scrambled to join the Farmers' Union, especially tenant farmers. Those farmers who owned their own land hesitated for a moment, but then a large number of them also joined the Farmers' Union. In the end, only two households in the entire village did not join the Farmers' Union.
It didn't matter. It didn't matter anymore.
After the Farmers' Association was established, it was elected by the villagers who had taken the lead in joining the association to be the President and Vice-Presidents. Then, under the leadership of the President and Vice-Presidents, and under the guidance and coordination of the army, the first armed force of fifty men stormed into the home of the second largest family in the village.
Then a third, then a fourth.
By the time the last house was raided, the sky was still dark, and the number of people willing to join the Peasants' Union had increased to more than two hundred.
In just one day, the tyrant who had ruled Dayan Village for three generations was uprooted and no longer existed.
Other than a small portion of the money that was obtained from raiding the houses, most of it was used as military expenses and was kept by Xie He. The farmers were more concerned about the land.
"Don't worry about the distribution of the land. General Xiao said that he would distribute the land, so he will definitely help everyone. You don't have to worry about this. In order to ensure that everyone can get the land according to their needs, we need to hold a meeting in the Farmers' Union to discuss how to distribute the land. Everyone is welcome to participate!"
Xie He followed Xiao Ruxun's instructions and did not rush to distribute the land to the farmers. Instead, she let them continue with the autumn harvest under the guidance of the Farmers' Union. After that, they would hand over 70% of the land rent to the Imperial Court and the Rong Family to the Zhennan Army.
General Xiao's army gave us a 30% reduction in rent!
General Xiao is really a good person!
We are going to have our own land soon!
I can't believe it!
Dayan Village was filled with such voices.
That night, Xie He organized a lively celebration in Big Cliff Village, where the soldiers and civilians shared the joy.
The task force had successfully completed their first mission, and there was no doubt that they had exceeded their expectations. All the tyrants of Big Cliff Village had been wiped out without any resistance. It was probably because their leaders had all been captured in one fell swoop at the Rong family. The remaining small fries could not do anything at all.
With the support of the army and guidance, they were invincible.
They were very excited, so excited that they couldn't get any more excited. When they knocked down those people who used to be high and mighty, when they saw them crying and begging for mercy, when they understood that they could control their lives and deaths, every one of them became a beast-like violator.
They turned hundreds of years of oppression into a strong motivation and vented it all in one go.
The members of the task team who witnessed all of this fell silent for a long time.
During the summary meeting, the members of the task team expressed that they were greatly touched.
"They actually dared to do such a thing. I didn't expect it at all. Those farmers looked so simple and honest."
"Indeed, although I know that these tyrants are people who eat meat without spitting out the bones, I can't help but feel pity for them when I saw them in such a miserable state."
"Is it really necessary to be so ruthless? Some people can be spared, right? Those women and children are not at fault. Is it necessary to kill them all? "
The members began the first round of self-reflection and questioning.
"No! We must adhere to the policy set by the Marshal and resolutely carry it out. There can be no soft-heartedness! This is a matter of life and death. A little soft-hearted will bring terrible consequences. We can't afford to lose! "
Xie He said with a strong tone.
"But … But even the women and children …"
"The Great Cliff Village is the first one. We must do this. When we become stronger and the aristocrats start to submit to us, then we can use a gentler method. But for now, we must be firm. Even if we have to use a more cruel method, we must persist!"
Xie He did not agree to anyone's suggestion. She insisted on working according to Xiao Ruxun's policy.
In fact, wasn't Xie He also greatly touched by this?
Seeing such a scene, Xie He was also greatly touched.
It was just that he was personally taught by Xiao Ruxun, so it was easier for him to accept all of this.
Moreover, Xie He had a bigger goal. He was very clear that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to use the corpses of these landlords to pave the way for him. The longer the road was paved, the brighter his future would be.
"This time's practice shows that our work and methods are effective. In this way, if we control the farmers' association, we can completely control the entire Dayan Village. Manpower, material, financial resources, food, as long as we need it, Dayan Village will quickly become our source of supplies.
If Dayan Village can do this, the other villages can do the same. No matter how strong the local tyrants are, according to this method, we can control all the farms and farmers in the shortest time possible. "
